Queenpin
Traded at the age of nineteen as a pawn to America's most lethal drug cartel.
Blackmailed by corrupt police who were supposed to protect her.
Mariana Rodriguez has watched empires rise and fall, toppled kingdoms and doled out suffering to her enemies; all while the world believed she was long dead. Quietly, carefully building an empire of her own, she is unstoppable - until she is forced to confront the sins of her past.
The only living relative of her diabolical late husband, Mariana learns that the body of the man she once loved now lies in cold storage in an FBI facility in California. Nobody has come forward to claim the remains of Dornan Ross, once the most feared man in Los Angeles, and at first Mariana doesn't want to, either.
But she loved him, once upon a time. He saved her life, a very long time ago, and something in the Queenpin's frozen heart thaws just a little. It would be fitting for a wife to give her husband a proper burial - the vicious circle of life and death brought to a final close. Besides, Mariana's reasons to claim Dornan Ross's body aren't all selfless - she wants to lay her eyes on him herself and make sure the bastard is actually dead.
One thing's for sure - come hell or high water, Mariana Rodriguez won't sleep until she feels the cold skin of her dead husband beneath her own fingertips. She just has to survive the journey from Colombia to Los Angeles, through enemy territory as a dead woman walking, and take back what remains of the villainous man she once loved like the sun.
